You can catch all along the beach though. Early in the morning I like to make a few casts standing on the beach and throwing out or walk to the first sandbar and throw back towards the beach. The fish run along in the troughs between the sandbars. I like to use a floating fish basket like this

Instead of a stringer so your fish don't get stolen by Dolphins or sharks while you are out there. It's not a good feeling when something starts tugging on your stringer lol.

Good advice from Meaux about GI.
Seen a about a 5 foot bull shark in surf yesterday on 2nd sandbar as i was getting out. Always have used a Do-net for wading and it's is also good as a flotation device. Rocks at eastern end of State Park by the pass can be a good spot as well but currents can be dangerous there. good luck.
